Re: CV and mad panic behaviour

I had an unsettling experience yesterday with an anti-vaxxer. I was shopping at a Good Guys store, minding my own business, when I was approached by a mid-forties male who began talking to me with the fervour of a religious zealot.
In a loud voice he told me that governments (unspecified) were to blame for Covid. Further, he said nobody knows what is in the vaccines and that his research led him to the conclusion that one man was responsible for it all - Bill Gates.
If this guy represents the typical anti-vaxxer then there is no turning them. His manner was such that I just got out of the store as fast as I could.
I think that religious zealot is an apt comparison.
They (anti-vaxxers) wouldn't know what research is, let alone how to conduct research, and they have simply formed a belief based on conspiracy theories, misinformation and half-truths. I guess it's evolution at work.
